ANTLERS IN CAVES DEPOSITED BY ANCIENT FLOODING?!

Hi,

Please find below copy of a communication to "Online Archaeology" who I have been pleased to be in contact with for some time now.

A number of years ago an eminent Scottish Archaeologist published a paper suggesting that the numerous antlers discovered at the back of caves in Scotland were pushed there by fluvial activity.

I strongly challenge his hypothesis.

Please read my opinion and cast your vote.:-

Please forgive me for posting my previous comment as I have just noticed a fundamental error in my grammar!

So! I will clarify the situation regarding "Down Slope Fluvial activity pushing numerous Stag Antlers to the back of a dead ended cave". 

To be specific and addressing all of the laws of fluid dynamics which I and others, somewhat more skilled in the art than myself are concerned; then any down hill flood which pushed numerous Antlers into the back of any cave should have been impossible to happen! Any one who has had the privilege of visiting Mar Lodge, as I have; will have noticed the Antler trophies which adorn the walls of the halls. Alas there is no evidence of fluvial activity having deposited them there! Perhaps we have not changed as a species very much since our ancestors brought their trophies to what was their then Halls!

Will copy this text to my blog out of courtesy.
